Templates
Templates are predefined text and formatting in place, and only require fields to be filled out to complete the article you're making Most pages require the use of templates so that all pages look similar to each other. A list of templates can be found here. Simply copy and paste the template to a blank page and fill the template up in the 'Filling a Template' example below. To use a template, you must surround it between 4 braces, 2 on each side.

|Parameter=Value
Page Creation
Content Pages
1. Visit Create Page, type in the desired page name and click 'Create Page'
2. Insert the information at the 'Value' portion of the Parameter: |Parameter=Value. Values have to be streamlined across all pages, meaning if the Value says "Can only be done once." on one page, it must say the exact same thing on every other page (assuming the value applies to that page).
3. For the image Parameter, insert a filename that can easily be identified to the item. For example, if the image was the EpicDuel Logo, it could be called 'ed_logo.png' All content images must be high quality .png images only.
4. Once you have finished filling up all the parameters, please click "Show Preview" before saving the page to ensure it's looking good and no errors have been made. You may choose to compare it with other pages of the same type to see if it looks similar to them. (Assuming you have not uploaded an image yet, the image will appear as a red link.)
5. If you have not uploaded an image: Click the red link on your pages and upload the desired image to the Wiki. The page is now complete!
Faction Pages
1. Look for the template of the corresponding alignment to your ingame faction and copy the template to your clipboard.
2. Visit Create Page and type the name of your faction into the field. Click 'Create Page' when you are done filling up the field.
3. Paste the template and fill up the parameters. Leave non applicable fields blank. DO NOT remove them from the page.
User Pages
1. Any user registered to the Wiki is allowed to create a Userpage. If you haven't already, please register to the Wiki by following the instructions on the top of this guide.
2. Visit Create Page and fill in the necessary fields. Click 'Create Page' to begin editing.
3. Fill in the necessary fields on the template and then save your page.
